“We exchange a lot, not only with designers of our generation but also with students, and more experienced graphic designers. We consider the French scene to be vivid and dynamic, albeit extremely demanding in terms of sponsors, whose interest in graphic design is sometimes insufficiently developed.”

Patrick Paleta and Stéphane Buellet co-founded Chevalvert, a studio based on an open, multi-disciplinary and crossover approach to design. It splits its output between institutional, industrial and cultural projects, to complete which it has established a sold network of graphic, typographical and product designers, web developers and scenographers, all experts in their own fields. The phrase “cheval vert” in French – literally a “green horse” – implies inexperience, something the studio is rapidly changing.
